Local History & Lifestyles

Antioch – Priest Lake is located in Davidson County.

For nearly 100 years, from 1851-1995, the Southeast Community was home to the Tennessee Hospital for the Insane. Just the name alone indicates it's somewhat checkered and troubled past which included a couple of lost asylum cemeteries due to the fact that most graves there didn't receive headstones or markers.
The asylum was once located on the corner of Murfreesboro Road & Donelson Pike, but was finally razed several years ago when one of the original buildings, a Gothic Revival landmark designed by Nashville architect Adolphus Heiman, was destroyed to make way for the incoming Dell Corporation.
